Now Ashley Madison is being sued for ’emotional distress’

No surprises here: Ashley Madison, a site that facilitates infidelities, is being sued in a federal court in Los Angeles over its failure to adequately protect its clients’ personal data, reports Reuters.

The lawsuit, filed by a man identifying himself as John Doe, is seeking class-action status and accuses Ashley Madison and its Toronto-based parent company Avid Life Media Inc., of negligence, invasion of privacy and causing emotional distress.
